So yesterday I decided to put new leaf springs in since my old ones were broken or missing leafs entirely
I found some nice 08 4wd ranger leaf springs with the original 4 pack and nice arches in them for being roughly 5 years old
so i started to pull the old once out when my driverside shackle broke
so then i had to call down a bunch of auto parts stores and finally track down a new shackle and hangar, so i hauled a** to the unfortunately farthest store that was the only one that had them in stock, then rushed home to finish
safe to say 08 ranger springs fit, give about an inch or two of lift but you just have to file out the front bushing hole since the 08 bolts are slightly larger, oh yea and dont forget when your dropping the back end down to make sure the shocks shroud goes over the shock and doesnt catch leaving the truck lifted up and punctures a hole in the shock, more work to do now haha
